Farm animals - Spain (#)

Pigs brutally stabbed with swords on Spanish pig far February 20, 2012 - Animal Equality has released a shocking video with images filmed at a pig farm in El Escobar, located in Fuente Alamo in the Spanish region of Murcia. The video shows some of the most brutal scenes of violence against animals at farms that their Investigation Team has ever witnessed. Marco Verduga Vinicio, one of the farm workers who has handed over the footage, has revealed that the animals are bred for the food company El Pozo (according to the farm worker), which also sells its products to the leading supermarket, Morrisons in the United Kingdom and in other countries. In 2010, the United Kingdom imported 16,253 tonnes of pig flesh from Spain, including products such as 'chorizo' from this company. In 2008 this farm received a ‘Porc d'Or award’ from the meat industry.
